Goodwill Bookstore

Lovely, Charming little store. I was able to walk out with the two books I went in for as well as two others. Spent under $ 15. What a deal. On top of the already discounted prices, (yes, all books are used, but in great to excellent condition) they offer Military-​Student and Senior discounts. There are tons of cute little items for sale as well. It’s a Unique Boutique Bookstore, all for a good cause. You cannot go wrong visiting this store. Stop at Denalis Pizza a few doors down and get a box of their homemade chocolate chip cookies… they are the best!

I am crazy busy with too much to do almost all of the time.
I called ahead to see if they had what I was looking for.
YES they did! They even pulled it from the shelves and had it ready for me!
I was thrilled to be able to run in, grab what I needed and run out.
The service was top notch and the prices, perfect!
I can’t wait to find the time to peruse their shelves myself.
For one of the last standing book stores, this one is priceless!

Really appreciate the fact that they accept donations of electronics. Must go to the poway location only for thi d. Hate to trash something that still works and few places will take tv stereo etc any more. Nice stuff in the store.

I donate stuff here. The first time I went inside was a couple weeks ago and I was only there to drop off a couple boxes of donations. The store is beautiful. It has a small area for kids to sit at tables and read books. It reminds me of the good old days when book stores and libraries were a place you could go hang out with your small kids.
I dropped off more stuff yesterday and it is very easy. You drive around to the back and there is a doorbell and people come out right away to help you unload. They can take anything except furniture and large appliances. They will even take your old computers/​electronics for recycling. You can get a receipt if you want one. It will be my regular donation place now. I used to donate to Salvation Army too, but I like Goodwill’s lack of discrimination and how they are willing to hire people who would otherwise have a difficult time getting employed.
At this time I am getting rid of hundreds of books. Yes, we have that many. However, when I am in the market to buy books again, I’ll go here first. They have gorgeous tea sets for sale, too. If I ever need one, I’ll get it here.

I am part of a family of bibliophiles. Thats 4 people who are avid readers. If we paid full price for our books we would be in debt. That is where the goodwill book store comes in. I have found phenomenal copies of childrens classics. The selection is impressive for what at first seemed like a small shop. It is very neat, with lots of cute little knick knacks you can pick up as well. A broad range of genres to appease all preferences. They even have some of the furniture for sale. It not everday you walk into a store admiring their display bookcase and have the opportunity to take it home with you.
They also give discounts on things. We are a military family which means we get our books for next to nothing. We make sure to return their kindness by donating books whenever we can!
The only thing that would make it better would be a book 4 book trade policy!

Pleasantly surprised at the great selection of books here. Everything is organized neatly by genre and author. Easy to find.
Most prices are marked off by 70 to 90%. If you are looking for some reading material go here.
Place is super easy to find

This is probably my new favorite place to buy used books for my toddler. This Goodwill bookstore is dedicated to what its name implies – used books.
I had no expectations when I came in there but I knew I was there for one reason: Children’s books. And I was not disappointed. They had 2×5 foot wide bookshelves filled with children’s books ranging from board books to children’s booksets. Some examples of books I saw include Good night moon, Brown Bear, Thomas and Friends books, disney and winnie the pooh books.
As far as pricing, its prices aren’t competitive to thrift store prices such as Salvation Army, but what you do get are books that almost like new, at a fraction of the cost. I’d say the children’s books ranges from $ 1-​$ 5, which is a lot less than if I were to buy them new.
I came out with 9 books for a total of $ 17, which is a steal! They also offer discounts to military and students.

I really like the Goodwill bookstore. They have, obviously, a lot of used book to peruse, as well as nice-​quality knickknacks and home décor items.
The books are dived into sections: Bestsellers, SciFi, Children’s, etc, and are listed alphabettically by author. The selection does change at a nice pace. The books are mostly in good used condition, nothing with the cover ripped off or pages falling out. All the prices are marked on the first page, and they usually range between $ 2-​$ 10.
The décor items are wonderful. Everything is clean, has been presented in a wonderfully boutique style, separated by theme or color or material of the objects. The jewelry in the glass case is reasonably priced, and while there aren’t any sales that I have seen, nothing is outrageously high priced.
Some things I have purchased here: Disney’s Fantasia LP Record, Christmas Tree Ornaments, and several books that I really didn’t expect to find here. It is worth a stop to look around and find a great book! Ask the employees for recommendations, they are usually quite keen to help you find what you are looking for, and are genuinely appreciative of donations.

The shop itself is cheery, very clean, and the merchandising of displays is very attractive. HOWEVER, one normally thinks Goodwill pricing will be pretty cheap — not so here! Typical Goodwill pricing for books is $ 1.00 for softcover and $ 2-​$ 3 for hardcover books. A softcover children’s book at this Poway Goodwill Bookstore retailing for $ 6.00 had a $ 4.00 price tag, an example of the unexpected high pricing for this shop. The staff was unfriendly and quite a contrast to the welcoming environment. Because their books are donated in the first place, I don’t understand why they would price them so high. Perhaps a price tag just a tad more than the regular Goodwill stores is understandable but I believe their pricing is really out of line.

I was pleasantly surprised with the store. It was very well organized, clean and the staff was very friendly. There was a wide selection of books and the other items available staged atop the shelves was a cute touch! There have purses, jewelry, seasonal décor, and a lot of glassware available as well. I look forward to going back when I have more time to closely look through everything :-)

This store is very clean and the items are displayed beautifully. It is a pleasure to peruse this organized shop. I have picked up a few items on almost very trip. There are no clothes at this store which helps make it easy to browse at this uncluttered shop. Come here for higher quality bags, books, and décor. Glass cases display jewelry and more expensive items.
